 Because Sphinx does not create a 404 page by default, you can use the
 `sphinx-notfound-page
 <https://sphinx-notfound-page.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>`_ extension
 for 404 pages. While originally developed to be used with `Read the Docs <https://readthedocs.org/>`_,
 this extension can be used in other hosting services. For more
